Ricky Stanicky
Summary
When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble. Twenty years later, the trio still uses the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. But when their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire a washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator to bring him to life.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/ricky-stanicky-review-a-humorous-pleasant-comedy/
"Ricky Stanicky cleverly uses a blend of light humor, simple yet sincere messages, and a pleasant narrative to provide broad entertainment, as well as a testament to the complexities of personal growth and human nature.
The standout performance of John Cena, along with a cohesive and dynamic cast, elevates the film beyond its conventional plot, highlighting Peter Farrelly's ability to create stories that resonate with the audience through laughter and reflection. Despite the divergent opinions on Farrelly's contributions to cinema, his talent for balancing comedy with deeper thematic elements is once again laid out for everyone to appreciate, some more than others.
Recommended for all types of viewers."
